Comment	RNA polymerase sporulation-specific sigma factor. Synthesized shortly after the onset of sporulation but do not become active until after polar division; transcription reduced, and probably activation impeded, in hyperosmotic conditions; moving this gene in the 30% region of the chromosome trapped in the forespore during a short interval is sufficient to produce spores in the absence of SpoIIA and SpoIIE.
